Movie # 3 Lake Terrace

Guillermo Infante said, "Watching a movie from beginning to end is like reading, because even though what you see are images, they are telling you a story."
Lake Terrace I thought was a great example of a good movie, that is more than just a story, but a story that could actually happen to anyone!

You might ask yourself, what could be safer than living next to a cop? Well in Samuel L. Jackson’s new hit thriller Lake Terrace, a young couple moves in next door to a single father raising his two children. It so happens that he is a cop, and at first the couple seems to feel safe until strange events begin to happen. Samuel L. Jackson begins to try and drive them out by shining flood lights in their bedroom window, paying someone to break into their home, and cutting down their trees that hang over into his property, along with many other things that would drive anyone away and be convinced that their neighbor is a sick twisted individual. The couple is a young black woman and a young white man... here is where the problem began; Samuel L. Jackson later revealed that his wife was killed in a car accident. When they found her she was with her boss who was white and having an affair with his wife. He has resentment toward the couple because of his incident and wants them out if the neighborhood ASAP, which led him to his crazy behavior.

I really liked this movie and it was also one I picked to watch. I thought Samuel L Jackson was great. He really gave off the impression of a crazy son of a bitch! He was so evil looking and I think he was a good choice for the part, although Jack Nicholson would have been a good choice to. I thought it was full of suspense and it kept me on my toes, which is a must for me to really like a movie. Another thing I really liked about the movie was that it was a real-life situation that could happen to anyone. We had neighbor problems a while back, but thank god it never got this out of hand. I have heard some people didn’t like it, but I liked it I think Samuel L Jackson made the movie though!
